I am using an RoG Ally and was using Bazzite. I’m currently back on Windows (for warranty purpose. I literally can’t stand the Windows experience on handhelds). Once I get my device back, I have to decide between SteamOS and Bazzite.
I saw the latest SteamOS release works quite well, except for voltage control (I know you can control it using SimpleTDPcontrol).
If I want to tinker, I can always go back to Bazzite. But Bazzite has some very minor issues (screenshot does not work OOTB/gyro support is slightly cumbersome as you need to switch controller type/no fingerprint support). I have used it for 6 months and the experience for gaming has been fantastic. The Bazzite devs have all my support.
So my question is will we ever get a proper signal from Valve saying “Yup, it’s now fully compatible with the RoG Ally”. Right now, i’m getting the message “We are slowly adding support for the Ally. Only features x,y and z are not working”.
Are any of you Bazzite users thinking of jumping ship?
Yes.
Right now I’m documenting the fault and status of the device. I have heard that Asus sometimes “add” extra damage to the device so that they can claim it’s not covered under the warranty.
I would seriously reconsider it if I were you. If you haven’t seen the Gamers Nexus reporting on this, you should. They will take the devices, claim a bunch of damage that has nothing to do with what you sent it in for, claim that it needs a bunch of repairs that it doesn’t, then hold it for ransom until you pay it.
